When they let you down… again #71 Daily Dose of Dawn at dawn (disappointed, people let me down)
When they let you down again. This is the Daily Dose of Dawn. Number 71. Videos designed to expand your thinking. Having narcolepsy for four decades, I have a lot of sleep deprivation and struggle to regulate my emotions. Add a bunch of drama in my life and it really just sucked the life out of me.
So, I had to make a plan to deal with when I was around people who regularly let me down because somehow I managed to attract them a lot in my life. If you're in this situation, you know what I'm talking about. They say they'll do something and say they'll do it and say they'll do it and say they'll do it and they just don't do it. Reminding people to do something they said they were going to do, it affects you inside body.
So, here are my tips when I end up with someone in my life that is doing this to me.
First, don't take it personally. Everyone is doing the best they can from where they're at with what they have to work with. We're all a product of our experiences, our knowledge. We make choices based on that, you know, filter. So, don't think that people are sucking on purpose and don't take it personally.
That said, don't wait. Do it yourself. Especially if that task needed to be completed before you can continue. Don't count on them to do it. If they said they were going to do it and they didn't do it, don't keep waiting. That just keeps you in emotional limbo and has you doing all the emotional labor, and that's not fair to you.
Set good boundaries. If you want to maintain a relationship with the person, just don't ask them for things. And if that's not fulfilling to you, then move on from the relationship. But don't live your life resenting someone. If you're in a relationship and you resent them, it's your fault. It's your fault for staying.
So, I know that's hard to hear, but it's totally true. So, when they let you down again, that's the time to say, "I just can't count on this person for that thing."
